Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing equipment technology, and in particular to a palletizing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Existing medical products require palletizing after production. If manual labor is used, the following drawbacks exist: workers need to perform repetitive mechanical operations during palletizing and handling, the labor intensity increases significantly with the height of the pallet, the work efficiency is low and the labor cost is high; in addition, there are potential safety risks associated with manual handling of medical waste containers.
[0003] While current automated palletizing equipment can replace manual labor, it still has significant shortcomings: to meet the stringent hygiene standards of medical environments, the components of the equipment that carry goods (such as pallets / plates) need to be cleaned frequently and thoroughly. In traditional equipment, these components are mostly fixed, requiring the entire machine to be stopped and disassembled for cleaning, resulting in long production interruptions, high maintenance costs, and difficulty in meeting the continuous production needs with high cleanliness requirements.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated palletizing machine with the following characteristics: it can efficiently replace manual palletizing, reducing labor intensity and operational risks; key load-bearing components can be quickly disassembled and replaced, enabling parallel operation of cleaning and production, minimizing downtime; and the overall structural materials meet the requirements of high-frequency water washing and corrosion resistance, ensuring the long-term reliability of the equipment in harsh sanitary environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a palletizing machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Design a palletizing machine, including a conveying component, a lifting component, and a palletizing component. The lifting component includes a support, a plate located above the support, four straight rods connected to the plate via detachable parts, and a power unit for pushing the straight rods up and down.
[0008] The palletizing assembly includes a frame and a fork portion disposed on the frame, the fork portion being located on both sides of the plate body;
[0009] The conveying assembly includes a housing, a plurality of rotating shafts rotatably connected to the housing, anti-slip sleeves covering the rotating shafts, a linkage part disposed in the housing, and a power unit for driving the linkage part to make the rotating shafts rotate synchronously and move the goods.
[0010] Furthermore, the power unit includes a synchronous lifter connected to the straight rod, a connecting rod connected to an adjacent synchronous lifter, and a first motor for driving the connecting rod to rotate so that the synchronous lifter drives the straight rod to rise and fall.
[0011] Furthermore, the detachable component includes a rotating rod, a cavity formed inside the rotating rod, a through hole penetrating the bottom of the rotating rod and communicating with the cavity, a limiting block rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity, a support shaft connecting the limiting block and the straight rod, an assembly groove provided at the top of the rotating rod, and a fixing rod fixed to the bottom of the plate and cooperating with the assembly groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the linkage includes two first sprockets mounted on the rotating shaft and a first chain connecting adjacent first sprockets to achieve synchronous operation of the multiple rotating shafts.
[0013] Furthermore, the second power unit includes a drive shaft, second sprockets disposed at both ends of the drive shaft, a second chain connecting the second sprocket and the first sprocket, a passive sprocket disposed in the middle of the drive shaft, a driving sprocket connected to the passive sprocket via a third chain, and a second motor for driving the driving sprocket to rotate.
[0014] Furthermore, the shift fork includes a crossbeam mounted on the frame, a base plate symmetrically mounted on the crossbeam, a slide rail fixed to the base plate, a slider that slides with the slide rail, an insert plate fixed to the top of the slider, a mounting plate connected to the insert plate, a third motor mounted on the mounting plate, a crank arm connected to the output end of the third motor, a main shaft mounted at one end of the crank arm, a roller connected to the other end of the main shaft, an extension plate fixed on the crossbeam, and two baffles mounted on the extension plate that slide with the roller.
[0015] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided between the base plate and the crossbeam.
[0016] The palletizing machine proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] This invention uses a conveying component to transport goods to the top of the pallet, and then a lifting component to lift the goods to the position of the palletizing component. The palletizing component then stacks the goods, improving work efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers. Secondly, by setting a detachable component between the straight rod and the pallet, the pallet can be quickly installed and replaced.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example, refer to Figures 1-6 A palletizing machine includes a conveying assembly 1, a lifting assembly 2, and a palletizing assembly 3. The lifting assembly 2 includes a support 201, a plate 202 located above the support 201, four straight rods 204 connected to the plate 202 by detachable parts 203, and a power unit 205 for pushing the straight rods 204 to rise and fall. The power unit 205 of the lifting assembly 2 pushes the straight rods 204 to rise, lifting the goods to the palletizing height. The support 201, plate 202, detachable parts 203, and straight rods 204 in this invention are all made of stainless steel. The straight rods 204 and the plate 202 are connected by detachable parts 203, which can realize the quick installation and replacement of the plate 202 and reduce the cleaning frequency of the palletizing machine as a whole.
[0026] The palletizing assembly 3 includes a frame 301 and a fork 302 disposed on the frame 301. The fork 302 is located on both sides of the plate 202. In this embodiment, the frame 301 is made of stainless steel. The fork 302 of the palletizing assembly 3 moves the goods on both sides of the plate 202 to complete the palletizing.
[0027] The conveying assembly 1 includes a housing 101, a plurality of rotating shafts 102 rotatably connected to the housing 101, anti-slip sleeves 103 covering the rotating shafts 102, a linkage part 104 disposed inside the housing 101, and a power part 105 for driving the linkage part 104 to make the rotating shafts 102 rotate synchronously and move the goods. Preferably, in this embodiment, the housing 101 and the rotating shafts 102 are made of stainless steel. The rotating shafts 102 and the housing 101 are rotatably and sealed. The anti-slip sleeves 103 are disposed on the part of the rotating shafts 102 located outside the housing 101. The goods are conveyed to the top of the plate 202 under the drive of the anti-slip sleeves 103. The anti-slip sleeves 103 can prevent the goods from slipping and ensure accurate positioning.
[0028] This invention uses a conveying assembly 1 to transport goods to the top of the plate 202, and then uses a lifting assembly 2 to lift the goods to the position of the palletizing assembly 3. The palletizing assembly 3 then pallets the goods, improving work efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers. Secondly, by setting a detachable part 203 between the straight rod 204 and the plate 202, the plate 202 can be quickly installed and replaced. After replacing the plate 202, the palletizing operation can be carried out again without stopping the palletizer for cleaning. This reduces the frequency of interrupting the overall production due to thoroughly cleaning the surface of the plate 202. The plate 202 can be replaced only between batches or during short intervals.
[0029] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the power unit 205 includes a synchronous lifter 2051 connected to the straight rod 204, a connecting rod 2052 connecting adjacent synchronous lifters 2051, and a first motor 2053 for driving the connecting rod 2052 to rotate so that the synchronous lifter 2051 drives the straight rod 204 to rise and fall. In this embodiment, the first motor 2053 and the synchronous lifter 2051 are fixed on the bracket 201 and are all waterproofed. The connecting rod 2052 and the straight rod 204 are made of stainless steel to meet the water washing requirements of the palletizer. The synchronous lifter 2051 can be the POWERBASE series of synchronous lifters from Dezhou Chuangyu Transmission Equipment Co., Ltd. The structure of the synchronous lifter 2051 is conventional technology and will not be described in detail here. The first motor 2053 drives the connecting rod 2052 to rotate, thereby driving the synchronous lifter 2051 to make the four straight rods 204 rise and fall synchronously. The synchronous rise and fall of the four straight rods 204 prevents the plate 202 from tilting and ensures that the goods are lifted smoothly.
[0030] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detachable component 203 includes a rotating rod 2031, a cavity 2032 formed inside the rotating rod 2031, a through hole 2033 penetrating the bottom of the rotating rod 2031 and communicating with the cavity 2032, a limiting block 2034 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 2032, a support shaft 2035 connecting the limiting block 2034 and the straight rod 204, an assembly groove 2036 provided on the top of the rotating rod 2031, and a fixing rod 2037 fixed to the bottom of the plate 202 and cooperating with the assembly groove 2036. The detachable component 203 is made of stainless steel to meet the water washing requirements of the palletizer. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting block 2034 is larger than that of the support shaft 2031. The 35mm cross-sectional diameter ensures that the limiting block 2034 will not detach from the cavity 2032, preventing the rotating rod 2031 from separating from the straight rod 204 while rotating. There are four assembly slots 2036, of which at least two are threadedly connected to the fixing rod 2037, and the remaining assembly slots 2036 are slidably connected to the fixing rod 2037. The rotating rod 2031 is connected to the fixing rod 2037 at the bottom of the plate 202 through the assembly slots 2036. When the plate 202 needs to be replaced, simply rotate the rotating rod 2031 to disengage the fixing rod 2037 from the rotating rod 2031, thus achieving quick assembly and disassembly of the plate 202. The modular design simplifies the replacement process of the plate 202 and shortens maintenance time.
[0031] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the linkage 104 includes two first sprockets 1041 mounted on the rotating shaft 102 and a first chain 1042 connecting adjacent first sprockets 1041 to achieve synchronous operation of multiple rotating shafts 102. In this embodiment, the first sprockets 1041 and the first chain 1042 are made of stainless steel to meet the water washing requirements of the palletizer. The first chain 1042 connects multiple first sprockets 1041 to achieve synchronous rotation of all rotating shafts 102. The chain drive ensures that the speed of the rotating shafts 102 is consistent, the goods move smoothly, and the stainless steel sprockets are water-resistant, avoiding corrosion that could affect the transmission accuracy.
[0032] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the second power unit 105 includes a drive shaft 1051, second sprockets 1052 disposed at both ends of the drive shaft 1051, a second chain 1053 connecting the second sprockets 1052 and the first sprocket 1041, a driven sprocket 1054 disposed in the middle of the drive shaft 1051, a driving sprocket 1056 connected to the driven sprocket 1054 via a third chain 1055, and a second motor 1057 for driving the driving sprocket 1056 to rotate. In this embodiment, the second motor 1057 is fixed on the bracket 201 and protected against... Water treatment: The drive shaft 1051, second sprocket 1052, second chain 1053, driven sprocket 1054, and drive sprocket 1056 are made of stainless steel to meet the water washing requirements of the palletizer. The second motor 1057 → drive sprocket 1056 → third chain 1055 → driven sprocket 1054 → drive shaft 1051 → second sprocket 1052 → second chain 1053 → first sprocket 1041 drives the rotating shaft 102 to rotate. The multi-stage chain drive amplifies the torque and adapts to heavy-duty conveying. At the same time, the waterproof motor and stainless steel sprockets meet high cleanliness standards.
[0033] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the shift fork 302 includes a crossbeam 3021 mounted on a frame 301, a base plate 3022 symmetrically mounted on the crossbeam 3021, a slide rail 3023 fixed to the base plate 3022, a slider 3024 slidably engaged with the slide rail 3023, an insert plate 3025 fixed to the top of the slider 3024, a mounting plate 3026 connecting the insert plate 3025, a third motor 3027 mounted on the mounting plate 3026, a crank arm 3028 connected to the output end of the third motor 3027, a main shaft 3029 located at one end of the crank arm 3028, a roller 30210 connected to the other end of the main shaft 3029, and a fixed crossbeam 3021. The beam 3021 has an extension plate 30211 and two baffles 30212 that are mounted on the extension plate 30211 and slide in cooperation with the rollers 30210. Preferably, the third motor 3027 in this embodiment is waterproofed, and all other components are made of stainless steel. The third motor 3027 drives the crank arm 3028 to drive the rollers 30210 to slide between the baffles 30212, thereby pushing the slider 3024 to move along the slide rail 3023, and the insert plate 3025 to push the goods to be stacked. The crank arm 3028 and the rollers 30210 convert the rotational motion into linear motion, control the stroke of the insert plate 3025, and the stainless steel structure is suitable for high-frequency cleaning. The waterproof motor improves reliability.
[0034] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing plate 30213 is provided between the base plate 3022 and the crossbeam 3021. By adding a reinforcing plate 30213 between the base plate 3022 and the crossbeam 3021, the load of the shift fork is distributed, preventing deformation after long-term use and improving the stability of the equipment.
